The most inconvenient thing to take a bus is to find change in your pocket, turn it over and then take it out, find the slot to put it in. If it's paper money, it often can't be put in. If you want to say something more troublesome than that, it's more difficult to take a bus with a ticket price of 1.5 yuan. The most important thing is that it's hard to find the change of 50 cents. If you can't find it, you have to invest 2 yuan. So, can Luoyang bus scan code to pay?
This phenomenon happens countless times every day. Although Luoyang bus has monthly pass cards, it still needs to charge money and handle, which is not enough in terms of convenience. What we most expect is the payment of the scan code. We see that other city has launched Alipay code and so on. However, Luoyang has been delayed. Recently, it has been reported that scanning code payment is not far away, and it can be used at the end of the year.
Mobile payment has become very popular in Luoyang. I believe many people don't take much cash when they go out. Take Xiaobian for example, if there are 200 yuan in their pocket, they may spend more than a month, because they prefer to pay by mobile phone. After all, they can pay by scanning the code to buy a baked sweet potato. When you go out, you can take a few pieces of change for bus use. When mobile payment is available, you can even take the last change in your pocket. There are fewer and fewer reasons to bring some cash when you go out.
It's not clear what kind of QR code is used for the bus scanning payment in Luoyang. It may be an app similar to Chengtong. For example, Qingdao and other cities also have their own bus app. Local residents and tourists need to download and install such a software before they can realize it. Another way is to use Alipay's riding code directly, such as Xi'an City, and personally feel that this way is more convenient and quick. After all, most of the people in Luoyang are using it, and it is still troublesome to download a APP by themselves. For tourists coming to Luoyang, experience is not as good as using Alipay directly.
However, since it is a code scanning method, as long as the QR code is prepared in advance, the whole payment process must be very fast. It takes about 0.3 seconds to complete the code scanning payment, which is as fast as swiping the bus IC card. I believe that the bus code will also support offline payment, even if there is no network, it will not affect the people who get on the bus behind. Some friends will worry about whether the monthly card will be cancelled in the future? After all, monthly cards can save a lot of money for office workers. This situation should not be too worried. Even if the monthly card is cancelled, it will appear in other forms. For example, a similar monthly activity will be launched on the app of scan code payment, and there is a high probability that it will be more preferential than now. Because it is necessary to promote the popularization of code scanning payment by bus, I believe there will be some good benefits.
